Swedish brand H&M unveils Boho-Inspired Summer 2025 collection
This summer, H&M travels from bustling cities to magical deserts and beachside towns, creating the ultimate vacation wardrobe along the way. With an emphasis on crafted details like fringe, crochet, embroidery and embellishment plus airy dresses and kaftans, there's a sophisticated boho feel throughout. Smart matching sets, bold silhouettes and a play between relaxed and structured shapes add a modern touch. The H&M Summer 2025 first drop will be available in selected stores and at hm.com from 15 May, and the second drop from 29 May.
Inspired by a trip to epic, energetic Marrakech, the womenswear collection features natural fibres, striking embellishments, and innovative knit and crochet techniques that emphasise the power of craftsmanship. Continuing to the isles of Lanzarote and Lamu, Kenya, oversized palm prints, fringe and beading call to mind beachy fun and relaxation. The colour palette ranges from dark, rich earthy tones like terracotta, burgundy and warm browns to sand, bright red, pinky beiges and pops of gold. There's also a range of greens and yellow that contrast tinted neutrals, sage and white.
H&M's Summer 2025 womenswear collection, inspired by Marrakech, Lanzarote and Lamu, blends boho sophistication with global craftsmanship. Featuring fringe, crochet, embroidery, and earthy tones, the collection includes kaftans, bold dresses, and embellished accessories. Launching May 15 and 29, the campaign stars Alex Consani, captured in sun-soaked Mexico.
'For this collection, it was important for us to bring in rich, textured details because they allowed us to introduce different weaving techniques and highlight a sense of tradition. And in journeying around the world for inspiration, we've created elements of a summer wardrobe that celebrate vibrancy – in the print mix, the emphasis on craftsmanship, and the feeling of never ending summer when travelling with friends,' says Eliana Masgalos, Design Director, H&M .
Key pieces include dark brown fringed sleeveless crop top with matching slim midi-skirt, a strapless mini-dress with a black and sand desert-inspired print, and a tiered sleeveless dress in bright red or golden yellow. The range of kaftans include solid-coloured long-sleeved ones with embroidered front, wide-sleeved, voluminous versions in geometric prints, and a completely knitted one. Swimwear, shoes and bags also bring in elements of craftsmanship, like jewellery-like embellishment, fringe and tassels. The jewellery is ocean-inspired with shells, coral and underwater creatures the main motifs.
The global campaign for H&M Summer 2025 stars friend of the brand and supermodel Alex Consani with Sam Rock behind the lens.
'Shooting the H&M summer campaign with my close friends in Mexico was such a fun experience. The essence of summer to me is carelessness and enjoying time with those you care about. Shooting with Sam on this campaign really felt like we were just on vacation and made it so enjoyable for everyone on set. Grateful to the whole team for just having fun the whole time, you can tell in the pictures we were just enjoying the sun and being with one another!', says Alex Consani .

Strongest Boy Alive: Savera's Deeply Personal Debut EP Captures Solitude And Healing
Last Updated: Savera releases his debut solo EP Strongest Boy Alive, a self-produced, Hindi-language record exploring love, loss, and healing through seven emotional tracks. Savera, one of the most distinctive voices in India's music scene, has just released his highly awaited debut solo EP, Strongest Boy Alive. Known for his popular work in Bollywood, including acclaimed tracks like Jaadu from Netflix's Jewel Thief, and hits like Doobey from Gehraiyaan and Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, Savera now steps into a more intimate, introspective space with this seven-track offering, written, composed, and produced entirely by him. The EP, which dropped on June 14, opens a new chapter in Savera's artistic evolution. Made in solitude, it is a vulnerable, self-reflective record shaped during long walks, quiet days of surfing, and deep personal stillness. The latest single from the EP, Galtiyaan, featuring vocalist Nikhita Gandhi, was released a day prior to the full project and captures the restless pulse of Mumbai — its noise, blur, and emotional chaos. It's a song about seeking connection in the wrong places, only to be left emptier than before. Earlier, Savera had released Aahista and Veer Mere — the latter in collaboration with Punjabi artist Burrah — both of which received warm appreciation from fans. Each track on Strongest Boy Alive reveals a different layer of emotional complexity. From the calm introspection of Aahista to the quiet sorrow in Veer Mere, the late-night confusion of Galtiyaan, the glimmer of optimism in Fiza, the acceptance in Deewar, and the emotional core in the title track Strongest Boy Alive, this EP is more than a collection of songs. It is a gentle reckoning. The final track, Aahista (Acoustic), is accompanied by a performance video on Savera's YouTube channel. Speaking about the EP, Savera says, 'This isn't a concept project, but it is written in stillness, reflection, the quiet mess of being human. These songs weren't made to impress anyone. They were made while slowing down, while trying to make sense of things — love, mistakes, grief, healing. It's not perfect. But it's honest." Savera's musical journey began long before the fame. Raised on his grandmother's poetry, he picked up the guitar at eight, formed a punk rock band in his early teens, and began shaping a unique voice that blends raw emotion with sonic craftsmanship. He cut his teeth composing over 500 brand pieces for companies like H&M, Nissan, and Taj, before making his breakthrough in Bollywood. His work on Gehraiyaan in collaboration with OAFF catapulted him to widespread recognition, with Doobey alone crossing 125 million Spotify streams. He has since received accolades including the Mirchi Music Award for Best Upcoming Music Composer and an IIFA nomination for Best Music Director. Now based in Goa, Savera leads a life far from the industry spotlight, often off the grid, grounded by the sea, music, chess, and his pets. That quiet lifestyle pulses through every note on Strongest Boy Alive, a body of work that marks a bold and heartfelt entry into India's independent music landscape. The EP is now available on all leading streaming platforms. First Published: June 14, 2025, 18:58 IST

Bandhani meets Nike in a first-of-its-kind collaboration with Indian brand
The new Nike collection is all about Indian culture and craftsmanship. The sportswear giant has collaborated with Indian label NorBlack NorWhite for a limited edition collection. This is the first time Nike has partnered with an Indian result? A collection that feels like a crossover between bandhani and Nike sports essentials. Think bandhani bralette, tights with bandhani print on the sides, and a crossbody bag with traditional print accents. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nike Sportswear (@nikesportswear)advertisementNorBlack NorWhite is a Delhi-based label by Mriga Kapadiya and Amrit Kumar. It is known for combining traditional Indian crafts and textiles with streetwear silhouettes. 'Nike and NorBlack NorWhite applied the look of bandhani, a traditional Indian tie-dye technique, to sport-forward silhouettes designed to move with women throughout their everyday lives whether they're in the gym, on the move or unwinding in style,' Nike said in a collection comprises four shoes, a hoodie, a tank top, a cropped T-shirt, two bralettes, a pair of shorts, and tights.'15 years ago when NBNW was born, we couldn't imagine bringing our love for bandhani (tie-dye) into the sports arena but here we are and it's feeling too beautiful,' Kapadiya and Kumar of NorBlack NorWhite said in an Instagram in Jaipur, the campaign featured several Indian athletes including Anshu Malik, sprinter Priya Mohan and cricketers Jemimah Rodrigues and Shafali Verma. Indian athletes feature in Nike X NorBlack NorWhite collection campaign. advertisement'What really hits different from other campaigns is that this collaboration is designed right here in India by a local collective that gets our vibe,' says Jemimah.'Wearing Nike that's laced with Indian culture is a flex. It's bold, rooted and ours. As a woman in a sport that's often seen through a male lens, being part of a campaign like this is my way of saying, 'We're not just showing up, we're here to take over, win big and look fab while doing it.''The Nike-led collaboration marks a significant moment in global fashion, particularly when we are increasingly witnessing cultural appropriation and the lack of recognition for South Asian roots in many international fashion trends. The good old dupatta is being called a Scandinavian scarf, Gucci called Alia Bhatt's specially designed saree-inspired outfit a 'gown'.Fashion brands like H&M and Reformation, among others, are selling kurta sets and calling them 'top', with no acknowledgment of the origins of the silhouette. A kurta is a long strappy top on H&M's website. As for Nike, it has a strong presence in India with over 80 stores across the Watch

When Mohanlal slapped a man for ridiculing one of Malayalam cinema's greatest superstars: ‘I would still do the same'
Although Mohanlal has always projected himself as a peace-loving, calm and composed person, who is not easily swayed or disturbed by life's outcomes, and often appears to be in a near-constant state of zen, there have been instances when the actor lost his cool. In fact, he once admitted to flying into a rage and slapping someone for allegedly badmouthing one of Malayalam cinema's all-time greatest superstars. Mohanlal explained that he endured the person's rambling for as long as he could, but eventually reacted after reaching his tipping point. 'Things like that happen. You hit someone only when you have absolutely no other option, right? However, even now, if such a situation arises, I will do the same,' Mohanlal once shared during an appearance on Kairali TV's JB Junction, a talk show that was hosted by John Brittas, who is now a parliamentarian who represents the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) in the Rajya Sabha. He further stated that he resorted to this extreme step because the person, whose identity neither of them disclosed, persistently disparaged legendary actor Prem Nazir for a long time. 'It's a reflex action, isn't it? When someone keeps saying something like that for a long time… He continuously ridiculed that person (Prem Nazir) for two to three hours. Everything has a pinnacle and a zenith, right? You can't go beyond that. At that time, I did it. Even now, that might be my reaction if a similar situation arises,' Mohanlal added. For the uninitiated, Prem Nazir is widely regarded as one of the most influential actors in the history of Indian cinema and is often referred to as Nithyaharitha Nayakan (Evergreen Hero). Besides appearing in as many as 720 films as a lead actor, Nazir also acted opposite the same heroine (Sheela) in 130 films, thus Guinness World Record for 'longest screen partnership'. Mohanlal and Prem Nazir shared the screen in several films, including Lal Americayil (1989), Thenum Vayambum (1981), Aattakalasam (1983), Sanchari (1981), Padayottam (1982), Marakkillorikkalum (1983), Attimari (1981), Ente Katha (1983) and Kadathanadan Ambadi (1990), among others.
